Yesterday morning the AC in my house stopped working. Every now and then it will do that and you just turn it off for a little while and turn it back on and that usually does the trick.

not.so.much.this.time

It's stuck @ 83 degrees.

I walked in from school last night and it was hot as blazes. I did the 30-day Shred last night. BIG mistake when the AC is not working, ha. So went and took a relatively cold shower.

Then I had to sleep on the couch last night so I could be directly under the living room fan. That helped a little bit but the rest of the house is just flat out hot.

I've learned when you want your circumstance to change, P.R.A.Y.

So I've come up with what you would call the AC Prayer. I literally put my hands on the thermostat and started praying. It goes a little something like this...

Dear Lord,

My AC needs you. It doesn't like to be at 83 degrees which feels like the firey pits of hell and I know where I'm going and would like to be at the comfortable temperature of 75 or so. I know no prayer is too big or too small for you and you care about the little things. So if you would, please heal my AC. I will be grateful. The AC will be grateful. We'll all be grateful. It's not quite ready to go to AC heaven right now, so we are asking for your supernatural touch!

We ask this in your name!Love,Lauren & AC

So either A. I will have to call someone to fix it or B. the Lord will hear our prayers! Oh, I stand corrected. It's at 84 degrees!

Lovely!

And lastly, I'll leave you with my dog who is trying to keep hydrated in these unfathomable temps!

You make me laugh, although I feel your pain. My AC went out in 110 degree TX heat last summer, on a holiday weekend, while my hubby was working out of town. I pray yours starts working soon b/c we ended up spending $1000 to replace the unit outside. If you live in a house, make sure & call your insurance to see if they will help you out. Big regret I have that I didn't do that!XOXO~Rosie

Our AC did this earlier this summer--I called my dad and begged him to come take a look at it before I called the repairman to make sure that it wasn't something stupid, and LORD am I glad he did...it turned out that a danged GIANT EARWIG had just crawled in the AC unit and died in such a place that the little connector thingies couldn't connect and make cold air (I know, a very scientific explanation).

I would hope that when I look back on my life that I can look back with great certainty that my purpose was served here on earth. That I loved God with my whole heart, loved people, and loved well. I love blessing others. It's much better to give then to receive. I know that there's an amazing God that loves me and will never leave me nor forsake me. There's alot of peace in that when this world can let us down. He's my constant, the one thing that remains the same in this ever changing life of mine. I look towards the future with great hope and expectancy. With hope that God has an amazing path for me, and just pray that my every step will be guided and directed by him as I walk this journey called life!
